Congratulations to Nairy Baghramian, who collaborated on a performance with Maria Hassabi during Performa 19 at 1014, for her nomination for the Hugo Boss Prize 2020.
In this video showing part of her work at 1014, Nairy Baghramian discusses her process for creating memorable sculptures that reimagine the workings of the body. “I have a very classical way of working, a traditional way of thinking of materials,” says Baghramian. “To get the sense of the politics of the material and the shapes, I have to understand it. Looking at a piece of marble, it already creates so many questions, and so many memories.”
